Chapter 1351: Willing to Kill

wild today"Facing Dr. Liu's questions, Lei Hong was scared and quickly looked around to make sure no one was around before lowering her voice and saying, "Dr. Liu, this matter mustn't be mentioned ag...After the Emperor finished speaking, he turned to Ye Er. "Ye Qing, why did you suddenly ask about him Is there something wrong"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, I was merely marveling at the President's remarkable recovery. I heard from others that he suffered grievous injuries before, so severe they said he barely clung to life. Yet, looking at him now, he seems robust and healthy."

If the emperor had but a sliver more thought, he would know that Ye Er was reminding him to beware of the presidential leader who held military power.

But the emperor now couldn't understand.

Ye Er was too lazy to continue reminding him. If he continued to mention the commander of the Imperial Guards, who knows if the emperor, with his current mindset, would think he was plotting against the Imperial Guards.

After finishing most of the state affairs, the emperor himself grew tired and allowed him to leave the palace.

On the way out of the palace, Ye Er saw the figure of the presidential leader again. Perhaps sensing that someone was watching him, the presidential leader frowned and turned his head.

Seeing Ye Er in the distance, he put away the anger in his eyes and nodded slightly to Ye Er.

Ye Er returned a salute and then turned to leave.

Watching Ye Er's departing figure, the President's face darkened slightly, then he turned to the soldier beside him, "Does Lord Ye enter the palace every day"

The soldiers around him didn't know why their commander asked such a question, but they answered truthfully, "Reporting to General sir, Ye lord is now a favorite of His Majesty. The Emperor summons Lord Ye to the palace every day, and after every morning court session, he stays behind to dine with Lord Ye."

"...“ Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

It seems he has neglected to pay attention to the people around the emperor these days. This sudden appearance of Ye Er, so trusted by the emperor and offering advice, could make things difficult.

Thinking this way, the anger in his eyes became more and more obvious.

The soldiers standing beside him immediately sensed the danger and quickly lowered their heads, trying to minimize their presence.

……

Ye Er returned to his carriage. His two guards immediately noticed a change in his mood.

After the carriage began to move, one of them couldn't help but ask, "Sir, what happened at the palace"

They had spent many days by their master's side, and they had never seen him frown like this before. It seemed that something must have happened in the palace, otherwise their master should not be so worried.

Ye Er came back to his senses and glanced at the two guards beside him. These guards were people he had rescued from the black market. He never asked about their past, but he knew that these two were most likely assassins from some gang before.

Since they had followed him, he had completely trusted them. However, their skill might not have been as good. If it were truly as he suspected, the Imperial Guard's commander would take action against him. With only these two guards by his side, he wouldn't just be unable to protect himself, he would very likely lose his life.

Thinking of this, Ye Er's eyes sank, and then he said to the two people in front of him, "Someone might be eyeing me. That person will not make a move unless they do, but once they do, it will definitely be a fatal blow."

The two guards, hearing Ye Er's solemn words, instantly became alert, their faces growing heavy.

After Ye Er finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the carriage. Then one of the guards spoke up, "If my lord trusts me, perhaps he could first tell us who is targeting him"

Ye Er had never doubted them, and there wasn't anything he couldn't say now.

Then he told him about the position of commander of the Imperial Guard.

After the two guards had finished speaking, they glanced at each other. One of them asked again, “My lord, why do you think that President would try to kill you”

As for this, Ye Er was also only in the stage of suspicion and currently did not have concrete evidence.

So now he can't explain it either, only saying, "My guess might come true. It will be clear tonight."

“......”

The two guards looked at each other in stunned silence. For a moment, neither of them spoke.

As we neared Ye Mansion, one of them suddenly spoke, “Sir, regardless of whether your guess proves true or not, we need to be prepared. I need an hour to gather some people.”

Ye Er raised an eyebrow, didn't say anything about his ability to find manpower, and now nodded slightly, "Okay, just requisition whatever you need directly from the mansion."

Since we're looking for manpower, it goes without saying that we'll have to spend some silver. The Ye Mansion may not have much else, but it certainly doesn't lack silver.

This trip to find someone would definitely cost a lot of money, so the guard didn't shirk. After explaining a few things to the other guard beside him, he left in a hurry.

The remaining guards looked at Ye Er, wanting to speak but holding back.

Seeing his unease, Ye Er let out a light laugh, "What Afraid that after he gets his people back, I'll settle the score"

The guard pursed his lips, shamefacedly bowing his head. "My lord, you've already guessed our true identities, haven't you"

Ye Er raised an eyebrow and asked nonchalantly, "Killer or dark guard"

Assassins are generally from underworld gangs, but spies are different. Spies are usually specially trained by powerful individuals.

If one is a dark guard, then for this entire life unless they die, they will forever belong to their master.

If the two people beside him were former dark guards, then their abandonment of their past identities and allegiance to a new master would be considered treason.

If they can betray one master, they can certainly betray the next. I wouldn't keep someone like that around.

But by the time he saved them, he had already checked them over from head to toe.

As far as he knew, every dark guard had a mark of their own, but he didn't see any on them.

Only after they assured him that they were not spies nor serving anyone else did he agree to let them stay.

The bodyguard, hearing Ye Er's question, immediately sat up straight, looking determined, and quickly explained, "Assassins, we are assassins. We are definitely not dark guards. Besides you, sir, we have never sworn allegiance to any other master."

He knew their Master Ye's temperament. If they were truly dark guards, after today, Master Ye would definitely not agree for them to stay at the Ye residence any longer, and he would certainly no longer trust them.

Fortunately, they weren't actually assassins trained by a noble family. They were just mercenaries who worked for money.

We kept their true identities a secret from them before they met Ye, because the kind of work they did before that never distinguished between right and wrong. They would help anyone for money; whoever their buyers wanted to deal with, they'd take action against them.

As long as the silver was plentiful, they did not shy away from acts of aiding the wicked.

They had done many things against their conscience in the past. After being saved by Lord Ye, they subconsciously wanted to hide their past selves and bury those things they had done out of hypocrisy deep down.

Today, in order to find more manpower, they had to reconnect with their old network of contacts, looking for those who, like them, were willing to kill for money.spiracy Mo Jyunyi might have, but he still let Mo Jyunyi write the letter.
